Ben - Never upset at Tug Pilot;
They know where the thermals are and they have long memories J My usual problem is getting lunch - just when I have launched what I believe to be the last glider for a while and looking forward to a break another one appears on the grid.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Pee Tube If any tug pilot decides to have a pee when I'm behind them on tow, they will be in a world of hurt.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Pee Tube I'm relieved to hear that. Unfortunately it sounds like if we are flying a tug we will just have to hold on.

Found blow on uras.gliderpilot.net posted by 'Big Wings'. I was concerned that EASA was losing its way and creating regulations where none are required because common sense would prevail. I now realise that I had underestimated the rule makers. Their latest proposals for regulation of aircraft used for non-commercial operations (NCO), in a document entitled: "Certification Specifications and Guidance Material related to Generic Master Minimum Equipment List for other-than-complex motor-powered aeroplanes", which addresses permitted defects in many light aircraft when used for recreational purposes, include this stroke of genius: "38-30-2 Pilot relief tube: May be missing or inoperative provided it is not used." However, glider pilots will be reassured to know that sailplanes will be exempt from this rule. We will be free to wet ourselves if our pee tubes are missing or inoperative
